The Audacity of Elected Officials

The MSM's lauding of the CIA leakers would be funny if it didn't have great potential for getting people killed. The only good intelligence operations conducted by the CIA in two decades has been the disimformation campaign against an elected president. Their misses on lesser things doesn't count. I suppose you would be happy with longterm employees who supply you with great intelligence on your mortal enemy (Bush). As best I can surmise, the CIA longtimers are very unhappy at having to take directions from a president elected by the hoi-poloi. They remind me of some GS employees I've had to supervise. They didn't believe they were responsible for doing any assigned task they didn't want to because the supervisor was short term: I was here before you and will be here after you leave. The wrath of the civil service will fall heavily on any short timer who dares believe he actually has supervisory responsibility.

Read the "Yes, Minister Series" its true.
